Your Gulf Coast Weather Most Accurate Forecast calls for a dry and sunny morning giving way to scattered to widespread afternoon and evening downpours and storms.

Before the rain begins, it will be seasonably hot with high temperatures settling into the lower 90s. Feels-like temperatures will peak between 100 degrees and 105 degrees…
